In Season

Right now the Catholic Church celebrates the season of Eastertide. It is a time of new life.

The season not only continues for the eight days of the octave of Easter, but for 50 days. It comes to a close the Monday after Pentecost Sunday, on which we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit.

The colors of the Easter season are white. It symbolizes purity and joy.
